Zoning

Commonly residences will require Zoning and Official Plan information regarding property sales of their home, and/or prior to construction projects. 

To look up the Zoning of your property, these instructions will assist.

• Browse through the keymap under the Zoning By-Law maps.  The key map will direct you to a secondary map magnified for this area.
• Once you locate your property on the secondary map, you will need to look for the Zone symbol lettering (ie. R1, R2, SHR, etc.) within the redlined boarders.  Most information is within Section 6 & 7.
• For the noted Zone symbol, refer to the Zoning By-Law document and look-up the Sections applicable to that symbol.  Specific Exceptions (ie. R1-#) are found in Section 8 - Special Zone Categories.   More General Provisions applicable to all Zones are found throughout in Section 4.

If you are experiencing difficulty or have general enquires related to Zoning, you are welcome to complete a Development Enquiry Form. If you have additional questions, please contact the Planning Department at 613-475-1162.
